Would you give your right arm to charge your cellphone?
They say that the India Institute of Technology is the best in the world. In fact, those unfortunate souls who aren’t accepted to it wind up attending their safety schools: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc. But this story makes you wonder. Apparently, some of the researchers there have developed a device that can recharge your cell phone using wind power. How can you use this?
"The device will help mobile phone users charge their phones while travelling in a bus, a car or a train. All they need to do is -- place the turbine against the wind flow. It will use wind energy to move the turbine thereby generating energy."So who wants to volunteer to stick their arm of the window of the Long Island Rail Road to see if this thing works?
